Urban Terror To Go Stand-Alone With Enemy Territory

Posted by simoniker on from the more-good-free-stuff dept.

RogeR writes "Silicon Ice Development, authors of the popular Urban Terror mod for Quake 3 Arena, will be porting their mod over to recently made modifiable PC title Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. They have been discussing this for a while now with id Software and Splash Damage, and have decided to move forward with their plans. Basically, this means Urban Terror will, when conversion is finished, become a free stand-alone game, using Enemy Territory's beefed-up Quake 3 engine. Oswald, the project manager, said: 'Those people who complained of legit keys or not being able to find Quake 3 - rejoice, you will be able to play'."

    Neither the Quake 3, Enemy Territory/RtCW engines are open source. The only source that is available is for the game code. To give you an example, the game code is what sets the number of mines you can lay, and how the mines operate (being detected by spies, blowing you up when you step on them). The engine code is the renderer, input, et cetera.

    provided they haven't changed it since I played it about a year ago, it's basically counter-strike, with better graphics.
